Why would they put grease fittings on!?! Now when the part wears out they can hope you buy an OEM part that they can make money on.

No problem. You would figure there would be grease fittings on a 4x4 truck ....

Consider that good luck. That means the guy before you had the headache, and paid the cash, for you.

What is even worse is the dealership having to replace all ball joints twice, wheel bearings front and back twice, and outer tie rods twice under the 36,000 warranty. On a truck that only drives on pavement to and from work. and some highway trips. AKA my truck.
